"More enduringly than any other sport, wrestling teaches self-control and pride. Some have wrestled without great skill—none have wrestled without pride." ~ Dan Gable

Sharples Wrestling club was formed in 2007 and is one of the biggest and most successful wrestling clubs in the UK.

We are a friendly club, run by volunteers. New members are always most welcome.

Socrates once said, "I swear it upon Zeus an outstanding runner cannot be the equal of an average wrestler."
